What the best way is very debatable,have a look at this guide.http://www.dvd-guides.com/guides.php?category=othertodvd&name=tmpegenc
If you dont like that one try the search at the top of this page,because this question is asked several times a week.
This guide is for avi's but if your mpeg isnt done right you'll still have to go through all the same steps.
You could download the trial version of dvd author and follow the guide,at the botton of the page on that link, and if you dont get an error message then you can skip the re-encoding
good luck and welcome to the hood
later
